Avoid They Always Run On The Nintendo Switch, It's Broken | They Always Run Nintendo Switch Review

[@SwitchCorner]

Hey All, A patch has now been released and the issue no longer occurs, I can't speak for the rest of the game just yet but I have a full review on the way!

[@MuhammadAli-xw4yc]

Thanks switchcorner you bad ass. For this update. Just brought this game yesterday. I saw da trailer on switch store, I watched literally 10 seconds, then turned off trailer brought it right quick. I love dead cells the game, even though I am stuck on it. I will check if you done a video about Dead cells and all it's DLC, Also your upcoming review of they always run now the bug is fixed. Oh love your british accent homie. What part of britain is your accent from. I'm hispanic american and live in funny accent Birmingham for last 8 years now.

[@Marlevlyn]

How’s the rest of the game, 5 months after this video

[@ronniemegaman2832]

Is the bug fix included in the physical release?

[@colossalgent]

Looking forward to it!

[@ronniemegaman2832]

I guess we can just hope the bug fix is in the physical, Otherwise the point of having physical is pointless! Physical is to preserve games for the future, when digital updates and digital games are not available!!! Some people don't give a damn about video game preservation, which is why physical games are released with nasty bugs that require a digital update. Or... Half the physical game requires a digital download! TOTAL BATSHIT INSANITY!!!!

[@SwitchCorner]

So this one's getting interesting. It seems yesterday, the dev posted that the console release had to be delayed, no doubt because of this. I'm not sure what's happening though as I never got any further updates and the game went live on the store this morning - I intentionally waited with the video until I saw it live on the eshop because I would never release a video on a game that's being delayed to correct something. Sometimes these things slip through, that's life. In this case though, as it stands, people are spending there money on it so hopefully this video provides some value to you all! Seems the team behind it though are working to get things to where they need to be which is what we want and it's good to see.

[@darrengladstone6091]

Thanks for putting this out there, Alex. I was afraid about bugs (there were reports of it being buggy when it came out to PC last year). Still, the game looks so right up my alley -- and I will likely pick this up once that's been sorted. Appreciate the diligence!

[@kayfabe10]

Sounds like you tried everything to fix the issue. Hopefully they get it sorted.

[@QuinterGame]

Hey! This blocker bug was fixed.

[@darkchild130]

Has it been patched yet?

[@SwitchCorner]

Just yesterday so that issue is gone, working on the rest of the game

[@brianhamel9028]

Nooo…just bought it this morning. I hope they fix it soon. I guess I’ll play Underhero instead for awhile. It has a good discount right now and received good reviews.

[@Ser-Smiley]

I hope they fix it soon. Because this looks sooo good. 😐

[@SwitchCorner]

They will, I contacted PID games and they have a physical version (limited) coming out

[@MarquisDeSang]

The physical version preorder start today on VGP, I will definitely get it. It does not look like a difficult bug to solve. The fix will be in the cartridge by the time we receive it in 3 months.

[@SwitchCorner]

Turns out according to the developer yesterday on Twitter, it should have been delayed but this morning the game has still gone live so I'm not sure what's happening, seems they are working to take the correct steps but for some reason, people can still buy it. Things are getting weird, my guess is, they couldn't get nintendo to work quick enough. From what I'm seeing, playstation is still scheduled to go live today at 7am PST and Xbox, it looks like it was removed. My guess is, this issue is all platforms or there's an issue of some sort on all atleast. Right now it is live though to buy so hopefully, it has value. I would never release a video if there was a delay for the reason of fixing, that's the response we want. I didn't receive any update unfortunately though following reporting the issue I found.

[@michaelSlick50]

Looks cool. - Game breaking bugs are so rough. I remember playing KOTOR2, twice, and the logic bomb in that one killed my save data twice. I hope if they re-release that, that they fix the logic so it won't get the game progress stuck.

[@MrJimithee]

Aww man, Star or Shovelware just beat you to it! Thanks for the heads up guys

[@SwitchCorner]

Yeah we tested the issue together fortunately - gotta be careful with these things.

[@dazzianocolucci3538]

It's a real shame the game is broken cis it has potential. Thanks Alex, informative and insightful as always.

[@SwitchCorner]

According to Twitter it should have been delayed on all consoles - this morning though it still went live. Someone commented and kindly pointed this out so I’m not sure what’s happening. A delay makes the most sense but they may not have stopped it in time. Seems xbox and playstation have been delayed though, they release time came and went and now they just say announced.

[@SevenRedSunsOfficial]

I saw this on the eshop, thought it looked cool, ran over here and oh my god of course its broken. the review was going so well! ARGH!

[@SwitchCorner]

Turns out according to the developer yesterday on Twitter, it should have been delayed but this morning the game has still gone live so I'm not sure what's happening, seems they are working to take the correct steps but for some reason, people can still buy it - yes this is being sent on nearly every comment but it seems like valuable info for everyone

[@sevensyns7732]

When it comes to 2D side scrollers, the detailed backgrounds are what can make or break the experience for me. This game definitely delivers in that department. Unfortunately, with the game experiencing issues, it will not be joining my backlog. I may revisit it in the future if I can make room for it.

[@SevenRedSunsOfficial]

I checked steam where it released in october of 2021, and its gotten a net score of very positive! If you are interested dont forget there are other platforms to buy it on!

[@StuartRobertM]

4:57 is where he explains why it is broken. Sorry, bud, I like your vids but if you declare a game is broken, I want to know about that problem before anything else.

[@SwitchCorner]

For me, it's a case of start with the bug and that's all people will watch and drop off and that will, in the long run hurt the game, a patch is already being worked on to fix it up. it seems even they pulled it from xbox and playstation but I need to give people a reason to look out for it in the future.

[@freya1548]

Classic example of why I research nearly every game before I buy it. Because sometimes there is something like this wrong so it goes on the wish list to be watched for the appropriate patches.

[@ryanpolk3141]

I went on their Twitter. They said yesterday they had to postpone the console versions for a limited time. Wondering if this is why. Not sure why it’s still on the Eshop

[@SwitchCorner]

Good to know, I had emailed and they said they would investigate but then I never did get another response…it looks like people are able to buy it too

[@ryanpolk3141]

@@SwitchCorner not sure why if they say they are postponing consoles. But hopefully they’ll handle it soon. I’m going to keep an eye on their Twitter and I’ve my notifications for your channel turned on. So hopefully we’ll get a patch or a date for the patch soon

[@Nedwig747]

The combat system looks absolutely amazing in this game. Its too bad it has issues, hopefully will a couple patches it changes from a avoid to worth a pick up because the game play you showcased looked really cool

[@dl30wpb]

I bought it on Xbox a few days ago. It's a pretty damn good game

[@jamesjameson5271]

It's at $14 right now at the eShop is it worth it?

[@jareauxjareaux]

even with the bug fixed, this game needs more patches. I've respawned to my character falling even though they are on solid ground and a plethora of other weird bugs. Ultimately, the game LOOKS great but plays like it needed more time in development. The controls are jenky and unresponsive. It's a sort of heartbreaking look at a game that COULD'VE been great, but got hung up on aesthetics and ended up being borderline unplayable.

[@mikejay34]

I cannot clear a particular jump on the train level and it’s completely ridiculous. There is no physical way to clear the jump and I have no idea if I’m missing an upgrade nor is it clear how I can return to hub world to get one if I was. Anyone else experience this problem?

[@pusanggala2937]

how about torchlight 3 ??? playable or not in nintendo switch ?

[@monkeymikegamer977]

How long so you think it will take to fix it ?

[@SwitchCorner]

It seems they fixed it, I’m just updating thumbnail and title now

[@dzill95]

I'll wait for the physical. Hopefully by then it will be better

[@MrJvchef]

Thanks for the heads up once again. Between broken day one releases and KZbin gamer contest comment scams something’s gotta to give. No more day one buys and no more comments. Don’t even bother telling me I won bot. Because we all know we already lost.

[@SwitchCorner]

lol, well first, it seems they were trying to delay this but it still went live. The playstation and xbox ones were taken down it seems. then, those bots, driving me crazy

[@sofaking1180]

Pretty confident this will get fixed... because once it does, I'll be purchasing the game. Aside from the bug, it does look incredibly fun and my type of sidescroller.

[@SwitchCorner]

Yeah it’s great fun this far, it will be fixed, seems they tried to delay but didn’t manage it in time on the switch unfortunately

[@kubby74]

Would you classify this as "MetroidVania" style play or more straight forward? Saw a pre order for the physical coming later, hope the patch is on cart! Thanks for the great preview!

[@SwitchCorner]

Straight forward, there’s a few branching paths but it’s consistently new dedicated levels so not a metroidvania

How was this ever allowed to be released if it breaks only 90 minutes in? I don't understand how this got past testing.

@@SwitchCorner It is so weird that it ended up on the eshop like this. Somebody somewhere down the line pushed a button that they shouldn't have. Maybe the big red PUBLISH one 😉

Nintendo are the slowest for updates, patches always take longer so I think it’s the same with listings. It seems they were able to pull the PlayStation and Xbox release

[@BrutesMcGee42]

I recently got my PS4 collector's edition from Red Art Games shipped finally, can't wait to play it, my backlog is huge. Obviously it's probably been patched by now, but I don't understand how we got to this point where Switch collecting takes such a priority over PS4/PS5 when it's quite a bit underpowered and behind the current gen systems technically. I get the whole DLC/patches on cart thing, but its not always the latest patch, so why go out of your way? I think ppl went from wanting an entire bookcase of NES carts, to now they want that red wall of Switch games, IDK. With almost all these "limited" game companies, the Switch port will get about 5,000 copies printed whereas the PS4 copy gets 1,200. I don't understand the mentality of "I only buy Switch ports because it's portable," why play a worse experience because of brand loyalty. Maybe I'm just a curmudgeonly couch gamer since '89, I don't enjoy looking down to play or holding the screen up to my face. A Gameboy is different, every portable Switch session I've had, I use a controller and stand the console up in front of me so I don't kink my neck. I don't buy that most Switch collectors are actually enjoying taking their Switch and rare limited games everywhere to play on the bus.

[@SwitchCorner]

The game was broken on launch, if they were kind to it if the video was released at launch, then they never played the game far enough because it was impossible to get around. Funny you comment on this one though, I’m actually revisiting it for a review later in the week, aim is currently Friday

[@baconpancake777]

I have the same extra bug on Xbox Series X. Tried everything

[@SwitchCorner]

I guessed that was the case and why they pulled it from all stores. I just wasn’t sure because some reviews had come out but I had a feeling, they never bothered to play an hour of the game before reviewing

[@adilkhojah]

Game can't progress beyond the second level due to a bug. Needs to be patched before playing.

[@NobodyUR]

Could be my fried brain from work but I popped this In yesterday finally and it seemed like it did a poor job of getting the player acclimated with the control scheme. Seemed overly cumbersome and complicated probably only cause it threw almost 6 different mechanics at you in first minute and my head couldn’t wrap itself around it. Again may have been my mood but it definitely is an example at pacing the games “tutorial “ section
